Ask Flex / Forms you keep putting off
Can AI fill out tax forms?
It can explain every line in plain words and draft answers from your papers, like your W-2 and last year's return. You check every number, and for anything complicated, a tax pro still gets the last look.
Let it explain, then check.
Gather the papers first
W-2s, 1099s, last year's return. Upload them with the form.
Ask what each line means
"What does this line mean for me?" is a great question.
Leave the private numbers blank
Social Security and bank numbers, you type those.
Let a pro check the hard parts
Business income, big life changes, anything that worries you.
Here's the tax form I need to fill out: [upload it], and my papers: [upload W-2s, 1099s, last year's return]. Explain each line in plain words, then tell me what number goes where and which paper it came from. Leave blanks for my Social Security and bank numbers. Flag anything I should ask a tax pro about.
